“It’s the pinnacle of what we could have possibly hoped for, the way she’s being treated,” Allison told Variety. “Truthfully, she’s a very specific kind of gal. Her iconic individuality is something that people can project so much onto and can put her into all these different memes and scenarios and it works.”

She continued, citing a clever way that a meme alluded to M3GAN’s popularity with gay fans: “I just have loved watching what people have done with her, in terms of the commentary, memes and jokes on Twitter. So many of the tweets that I’ve gotten have made me laugh out loud. Someone sent me a meme like, ‘The applause upon seeing Nicole Kidman’s AMC intro at the screenings of M3GAN is so loud, I’m worried about the infrastructure of the theater.’”

Allison added that there were concerns about M3GAN resonating, which were quelled once the viral trailer premiered.

“Trying to get that across in a trailer was a really big challenge, so once it was out and once people just immediately started iterating on dance and stuff like that, we realized that not only had the basic plot and bullet points of the movie come across, but also people just got M3GAN,” she explained.

If you’re a M3GAN fan, you might be hoping for a sequel. People are asking, especially after the movie had a fantastic opening weekend in box office sales.
